Can you feel the excitement of Spring’s later sunsets and warmer weather? We definitely can!
Don’t forget to brush up on Spring pet safety to ensure your pet stays safe and healthy with the changing of the seasons.
Pet-friendly spring cleaning supplies
Cleaning products can introduce toxins into the home. To thwart troubles before they start, opt for pet-safe cleaning supplies, store unsafe chemicals out of paws’ reach, and keep your pet away from where you’re cleaning.
Play it safe with plants
Cat lovers, remember that lilies can cause kidney failure if ingested by cats. Additionally, dogs love bones which can be used as a fertilizer supplement. Most fertilizers can be diluted with dirt or water for safer use around pets (unless you have a small dog).
Keep an eye out for foxtails
Regularly examine your pet’s coat for foxtails, a tall grass with elongated, bristly spikes at the ends of each blade resembling a fox’s tail. If they embed in your pet’s fur, they can cause serious damage—like ruptured eardrums and infections.
Spring cleaning applies to your pet’s teeth, too
Schedule a teeth cleaning for your pet to help prevent dental disease that can impact your pet’s bones, gums, heart, and of course, teeth.
Prepare for the dog park
Study up on dog body language, refresh your pets manners and make sure they come when called, and keep your pet home if they’re behind on vaccinations.
